He Paula,
I am going to give you another example so you can try this one on your own.
Lupe has 12 pieces of fruit and 2 of them are oranges. What fraction of the fruit are the oranges?
To find the fraction of oranges out of the total bowl, oranges/total fruit.
2/12
Then this can be reduced to 1/6.
I hope this helps you complete your question which uses different numbers.
